Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions

Pierce Aerospace (PA) proposes their Flight Portal ID (FPID) concept for advanced development with the DoD. FPID is an industry and internationally recognized blockchain based distributed identity system for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). FPID can provide DoD Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) services that enhance situational awareness in low-level airspace while serving and expanding capabilities of current and future C-UAS technologies. FPID is a leading dual-purpose technology with potential service as the identification component in a global Unmanned Traffic Management (gUTM) system. Global commercialization of the product enhances its usefulness or the DoD in C-UAS missions at home and abroad. PA's team of top industry experts and contractors will conduct a feasibility study in Phase I to determine the fastest methods for technology and operational adoption that delivers FPID into the hands of warfighters. The team will identify system relevancy, compatibility, degrees of adoption, plausible levels of system operational and technical Interoperability, and deliver a Minimum Viable Product Scope of Work for Phase II development.
